How is “Mama” changing?

New Gallery Just Launched: Mama in Many Ways Motherhood is eternal, yet evolving. Rather than take a single path to motherhood, many women become mamas in less traditional, though no less meaningful, ways. Our new Mama in Many Ways gallery explores the changing definition of the modern mother in today’s society, from adoptive and surrogate motherhood to gay moms and teen moms. Explore Mama in Many Ways for global art and stories about the many paths a woman may take to become a mama. The gallery features: A photo documentary from a teen mom in the slums of Kenya who follows other teen moms and shares their struggles and triumphs An essay by Sarah Buttenweiser called “What’s in a Name?” about the open adoption of her daughter, who has contact with her birth mother A moving poem from Lenelle Moise about considering motherhood as a gay woman And more! All types of mamas deserve access to quality healthcare and safe and happy childbirth. While you check out the new gallery, be sure to also Take the Pledge to improve maternal mortality rates globally, allowing women to live a healthy, productive life. Thank you for your support! Plus, when you become a member, you’ll be able to take advantage of our exciting new membership benefits,including an e-book, notecard set, and prints of art from MAMA.
